"From the beginning you have shown your servant these wonders, and have deemed me worthy to have my prayer heard by you;
15
now show me the interpretation of this dream also.
16
For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left!
17
For those who are not left will be sad
18
because they understand the things that are reserved for the last days, but cannot attain them.
19
But alas for those also who are left, and for that very reason! For they shall see great dangers and much distress, as these dreams show.
20
Yet it is better to come into these things, though incurring peril, than to pass from the world like a cloud, and not to see what will happen in the last days." He answered me and said,
21
"I will tell you the interpretation of the vision, and I will also explain to you the things that you have mentioned.
22
As for what you said about those who survive, and concerning those who do not survive, this is the interpretation:
23
The one who brings the peril at that time will protect those who fall into peril, who have works and faith toward the Almighty.
24
Understand therefore that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died.
